Great for these types of students

students on a budget, religious students, students who want to learn.

Tips for prospective students

Do not wait until the last minute. A lot of teachers give out long term assignments in the humanites classes, and you'll find yourself pulling all nighters a lot if you don't dole out a little of your time to doing these projects on a day to day basis. The teachers are also very helpful, so if you need to ask a question, feel free to go in during office hours.

Bang for the buck

You do get your money's worth when you go here, there is no doubt about that. It is inexpensive, most everyone is on some sort of financial aide or pell grant that pays tuition/books in full, and transfering is easy because of Angelina's good reputation. If you are on a budget, Angelina is the place to be.

Am enjoying being here

Sunny California is what I am used to, so being in east Texas is a bit of a stretch for me. The expansive grass fields, the very green trees, and the mild yet defined seasons make it a pleasant environment. The campus is average aesthetically. Everything is functional, but the ceilings, walls, and desks remind me of highschool.

Am learning a lot

The teachers at Angelina are very dedicated, and extremely credentialled. There is at least one doctor in each department, and all teachers have actual field experience (my set design teacher used to be a professional theatre set designer, my sociology teacher was a social worker for 20 years, etc). That being said, there are some teachers here who tend to teach their own religious, economical, and political opinions rather than the subject they are supposed to be teaching, and it can become irritating.

Stormie from Lufkin, TX

angelina college was the cheapest oppurtunity for my education starting out by far and it gives more people a chance to make something of themselves.

What to do for fun

p.e. and boot camp seem to be gruelling but i've heard it gives you great results. there's also programs put on at the temple theater every year and it is very enjoyable to see the college's own productions.

Food and Dining

the cafeteria is awesome if you need to grab a snack or some breakfast in the morning. if you have later classes, mcdonald's, burger king and starbucks are very close by.

Academic Rigor

some teachers will push you more than others, but it's not more or less difficult than any other starter college. the history and law classes are very informative.

Tips for prospective students

make sure your credits will transfer if you plan on enrolling. just because you have to start at a community college doesn't make you less of a person; you will go on to do great things with your education.

In three sentences

the campus is very sprawled out, but it is managable. the teachers are usually very kind but take their job seriously. the college is extremely simple overall.

Jessica from Pollok, TX

There are all kinds of clubs and activities here. The Angelina Auditorium hosts a slue of people such as Earl James Jones, Larry Miller, Kenny Rogers, Moulin Rouge The Ballet, STOMP, and much more.

Bang for the buck

Angelina is definitely the place to go to get your prerequisites and core classes out of the way before going on to get your degree. Inexpensive and they also offer a lot of degree programs here. I've also heard their nursing program is excellent.

Food and Dining

I only ate there once, but I thought it was very good.

Dorm Life

I don't live on campus, but I have a known a few people who have and they really enjoyed it.

Tips for prospective students

Definitely take advantage of the counselors. They will be the most helpful in planning your career path.

In three sentences

Angelina College is a great community college to start at. The faculty are extremely helpful and the professors are very interested in your success as a student.

Macy from Buna, TX

This college is great for students who are wanting to get basics done and then transfer to a different college. The prices are low and it is a small, friendly school.

Bang for the buck

The price of tuition at Angelina is what originally attracted me to it. Tuition is very low, but the classes that you get for your money are good.

Academic Rigor

Angelina definitely doesn't have all easy classes, but I wouldn't say that the classes are ridiculously hard.

Tips for prospective students

To those who are looking at signing of for classes at Angelina, be sure to schedule an appointment ahead of time and know what classes you are trying to sign up for. It is a good idea to look at the class schedule online before going to the school to sign up for the classes.

In three sentences

Angelina is a good school especially if you are only interested in getting your basics done. It is a small school, so it is a good choice for college freshmen. If you are looking for a two year degree the college has quite a few choices.

Lexi from Lufkin, TX

If you want to have fun they have a mall downtown. It's near all the resturants.

Food and Dining

I love the food. Some times if you're on the rush you can stop by the vending machines that are located every where.!!!

Dorm Life

I am still in High school so I'm not really sure but it sounds pretty great.

Academic Rigor

The Academics at Angelina College is one of the best. They may seem to have hard teachers but in the end your ahead of others.

Tips for prospective students

When you go to the College locate the Student Center (this is sorta like a life line if you know where this is you can survive). When you go to your class also make sure you have your book by the second class or your in big trouble. When you get your book they sometimes forget to tell you to read the Introduction before you go to the next class.

In three sentences

I would give Angelina a 9. I really enjoy this college but there are times when you could get kicked out of class for asking to use the restroom. I would give it a 10 if they didn't punish you for a natural thing.

Danielle from Lufkin, TX

I personally have not tried their dorm but from what I saw, it looks fairly decent but they have too few dorms.

Academic Rigor

From my experience thus far, i have encountered instructors that are rather lazy. They act like they are teaching in high school. However not all of them are like that, I personally had one instructor that is strict yet does his best to give proper techniques to make sure his students learn.

In three sentences

This has been a positive experience for me. The college professors continue show great concern about their students and their success. I would encourage any high school graduate to attend this college to complete their basic studies before transferring to a major university.

Well I don't know any traditions besides go to the opening home game for the Angelina College RoadRunners baseball team!

Bang for the buck

Angelina is pretty cheap for a Jr. College and is well equipped with teachers who will provide you with the education you need to be successful in your future careers.

What to do for fun

Honestly there isn't much to do here in Lufkin, but if you meet some people and get well acquainted it's not that bad. You can find stuff like the theaters or go to Sam Rayburn or the mall.

Food and Dining

Ehh it has some good food not all great but it's better then HS.

Dorm Life

Dorm life sucks and it's small that is all.

Academic Rigor

The education is great here and the teachers care deeply about your education and future goals.

Tips for prospective students

Hmm well be sure to study, because you have a lot of time on your hands and its hard to keep up in class if you don't get ahead. Also make sure you talk to some people or advisors before you start college so you can find which teachers are legit and the ones that are not.

In three sentences

Angelina college is cheap and efficient with the students. I like the college even though there isn't that much people the education is suburb! Very friendly teachers who care deeply about a person success Angelina College is great college for anyone.

What to do for fun

Since I take my classes online, I have the freedom to do what I want when I want to. If I want to do my homework or my test in the middle of the night, which I do, then I can. I don't have to worry about being on the computer and logged on at a certain time.

Food and Dining

I also do not know about the food and dining, since I am an online student.

Dorm Life

Since I am an online student, I do not know what the dorm life is like.

Academic Rigor

I believe this college sets you up for success. They give you different locations that you can take their classes, including the internet.

Tips for prospective students

Unless you are planning to get just an associates, then you will probably be transferring to a university eventually. Know what university you want to transfer to and what classes you will need for your degree.

In three sentences

Angelina College has allowed me the flexibility I want through online classes. They have allowed me to take more than the average amount of classes and have been very helpful. The teachers are available just about everyday when you need assistance.
